Today is Mother’s Day. I’ve thought long and hard about it and it’s not about giving my mother a day where I purchase things and treat her special for just this one day. It’s more about how I treat her all year and making sure that she knows how much I value her presence in [ Read More ]
After a couple of days of some interesting emails, I’ve recently started thinking about the concept of what it means to fail at something. I am someone who has a PhD in Being Hard On Myself. I think a lot of us out there are like this, where we have it in our head that [ Read More ]
So, here I am this morning stressing. I’ve got a gazillion things on my plate, things are late, people aren’t doing what they’re supposed to do and – well, you’ve all had mornings like that. Days where you wake up happy from sleeping and the minute you become conscious, your to-do list races through your [ Read More ]
I wrote last Saturday in my firm belief that reality television is like a cavity that’s causing decay and illness in our society. I meant that sincerely and then, like everyone else, I got sucked into the Charlie Sheen scandal. I’ve always had a bit of a bad boy crush on Charlie, a man [ Read More ]

I’m someone who has been a long-time proponent of people living their lives with dignity, that your body weight and dress size are your business. I think if you’re happy with your size and how you look, you shouldn’t let other opinions of you influence a thing. Be happy and live your life. I say [ Read More ]
You know, I usually try to stay out of these things – and I think it’s time for the storm to pass – but it’s struck me that I should make some comment (even if it’s late) about the Marie Claire controversy. Judging from the photo of The Gossip’s Beth Ditto above, you can guess [ Read More ]
A little note from me to you, wishing you a fabulous weekend filled with fun, tons of barbecue, a couple of glasses of wine and tons of fireworks (and you can take that however you like.) I’m taking the weekend to get some much needed rest, some time in the park and to load all [ Read More ]
Next Wednesday is my birthday. For years, I’ve made an elaborate show out of this day, declaring it a national holiday whereby everyone deserved to make merry and have a good time basically because I cried into the world.
